'He would like to do it, the insolent loon! was Geordie's grim comment. 'Will De la Pole dare to talk of dubbing the Red Douglas!
We think Jim's right about Geordie's throat, by the way; it ought to be done, I suppose, but it doesn't seem to trouble him at all, and it can wait! Julie dear, why DON'T you and the boy and Anna come down, if only for four or five days? Bring nurse, and some old cottons, and a parasol, and we'll have a lovely, comfy time!" "But we're just home!" Julia protested laughingly.
